Once upon a time there was a guy who wrote a kiddies book and angered a whole generation.
Ammaar Reshi wrote and illustrated a children's book in just 72 hours using artificial intelligence technology.
Expectedly, the book went viral after it was met with intense backlash from artists around the world.
Insider shares that in December he used OpenAI's new chatbot, ChatGPT, to write 'Alice and Sparkle', a story about a girl named Alice who wants to learn about the world of tech, and her robot friend, Sparkle. He then used Midjourney, an AI art generator, to illustrate it.
After only 72 hours of “work”, Ammaar Reshi was a self-published author with a book on Amazon's digital bookstore.
Allegedly, he paid nothing to create and publish the book, though he was already paying for a R518-a-month ($30) Midjourney subscription.
